Nuvotronics has introduced three new X-band surface-mount RF filters designed to deliver near-waveguide RF performance in a compact SMT package for PCB-integrated RF applications.
The new X-band filters cover 9.0–10.5 GHz across three frequency ranges, giving RF designers options for applications where filtering performance, size, weight, and integration are critical.
Unlike traditional waveguide filters that can require bulky hardware and multiple waveguide-to-PCB transition interfaces, Nuvotronics’ surface-mount filters are designed for direct PCB integration using standard SMT assembly. This approach can simplify RF front-end architectures while supporting higher-density designs.
Compact X-Band Filtering for High-Performance RF Systems
The new filters combine a compact form factor with 5–20 W power handling and high-performance RF filtering. Their surface-mount configuration eliminates the need for manual waveguide alignment and supports standard pick-and-place manufacturing processes.
The filters measure approximately 9.2 × 7.8 × 1.7 mm and weigh 0.43 g, making them well suited for applications where size and weight are important design considerations.
Built using Nuvotronics’ PolyStrata® manufacturing technology, the filters are designed to provide repeatable RF performance and support scalable production.
Applications for X-Band Surface-Mount Filters
Nuvotronics’ new X-band surface-mount filters are designed for a range of high-performance RF applications, including:
- X-band satellite communications
- Electronic warfare
- Phased array radar
- T/R modules
- Synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
- Airborne EW systems
By combining X-band frequency coverage with a compact SMT package, these filters provide designers with an alternative to traditional waveguide filtering approaches for space-constrained RF architectures.
New X-Band RF Filters
The new X-band surface-mount filter lineup covers 9.0–10.5 GHz across three frequency ranges, giving designers options for high-performance RF applications where size, weight, and PCB integration are important.
